Chapter 10 - You do not rule me, Ryan.
January 1973.
During college vacations for all, the work still did not stop. During many days of January, Jade was involved in the work as a photographic model, wrote her book and was invited by Trident Studios to do Queen's publicity photos and she was very happy with the news that the boys gave her. The photos would be made on the streets of London on a weekend.
Friday, January 26, 1973.
This was the date chosen by Trident Studios for the photos to be taken on the main streets of London with the boys. Jade took photos of Freddie, Brian, Roger and John on the London sidewalks, beside the London payphone, among other places. Mary, Veronica, Chrissy and Josephine followed the photo session behind the scenes along with Ryan who wanted to accompany his girlfriend and see her work with the band. Clare, sister of Roger, was also present and adoring the whole photographic session.
The photo shoot began at eight in the morning and it was until one in the afternoon. They stayed the whole morning working nonstop. In the end, the photos were amazing. There were some Trident Studios staff members who also praised Jade's photos.
"You have a lot of talent, young man," one of the musical producers said.
"Thank you," the girl smiled.
Roger came over and hugged Jade aside.
"I told you my friend is very talented," Roger smiled, kissing Roger's face. "She's our pride.
Then Roger lit a cigarette and went to meet Josephine who was talking to the girls and Jade watched his dentist friend and musician approaching his girlfriend.
Shortly afterwards, when all the photographic equipment among other things were stored in a big van everyone decided to go to lunch because they were hungry and they decided to go to an Italian food restaurant that was close to where they were. Jade loved the idea because she liked Italian food very much. Jade and Ryan got into Roger's car along with Josephine and Clare. Roger decided to give his friends a ride. In the other car was Freddie with Mary, Brian, Chrissy, John and Veronica. After fifteen minutes they parked the cars in front of the restaurant and went in search of a table and one of the waiters found a table in the background and then they all made their food and drink requests and chatted happily about the band's album, photos , everything that was being prepared for the release of the album soon.
Some time later, everyone's requests arrived. Jade had ordered a plate of fried potatoes, Greek rice, and a large piece of lasagna in white sauce with four cheeses. Everyone began to eat and drink and Ryan had ordered only a plate of gnocchi and a glass of juice.
"Are you going to eat all this, Jade?" Asked the boyfriend a little loudly to the girl and the other friends looked at the couple, including Roger who watched silently.
"Yeah, I'm going to eat all that and still have my orange juice," Jade said, looking seriously at her boyfriend. "I'm really hungry , Ryan, you know that. I had breakfast at seven in the morning and then I did not eat anything else. I'm hungry and it's not always that I eat too much.
"I know, but I think this is too much of an exaggeration for you," said the boy, forcing his food. "Be careful not to get fat, Jade. I do not want to date a fat girl.
Jade was embarrassed by her boyfriend's response . Roger looked at Jade uncomfortably. and the girl realized that her friend and the others looked at the scene in silence.
"Well, I tell you Ryan that I eat the amount of food I want, whether it's too much or not, okay?" I do dance and gym classes, to take care of the body itself, but, I will not stop eating, just to maintain a pattern of aesthetics exposed by the media, that all women should be as thin as a broom handle and become up to anorexias, not really - Said Jade laughing wryly. - I love to eat and that's what I'm going to do. And if I happen to be fat, you just let me go, stop dating me, just like that, my dear. You do not tell me, Ryan.
The girls smiled at Jade's reply in silence and the boys, too. Roger watched the tension between Ryan and Jade.
After they all had lunch, Jade still ordered a dessert, a Chocolate Strawberry Fairy cake. Roger had ordered the same dessert.
"I love this dessert," Jade said, smiling as some sipped black coffee after lunch. "I love Fairy Cake is my favorite dessert.
"Seriously Jade?" You've never told me that, "commented Roger, smiling." Well, I'm telling you Fairy Cake is my favorite dessert too, my friend.
"It's great to know that, Rog," Jade smiled. "One day I'll prepare Fairies Cake for us at my house.
"I want to, too, dear Jade," smiled Freddie.
"I'll prepare for everyone," Jade grinned, eating her dessert while Ryan remained silent, drinking his black coffee.
After lunch Roger would take Ryan and Jade home.
"And then Jade will you go to Ryan's house?" Roger asked as he drove the car.
"I'm going to my Rog house," Jade said, looking at her friend and her boyfriend seriously. "I have some things to do.
The young woman was saddened by her boyfriend's annoying and possessive behavior.
"Okay, so I'll take Ryan home first," Roger said looking at the two of them through the rearview mirror.
"My love, I'm sorry," Ryan asked quietly, looking at Jade. "I was an idiot with you in the restaurant. You know I love you so much.
"I love you too, but your attitudes sometimes hurt Ryan," Jade said, looking at him. "And I'm upset at the moment.
Ryan stood head down, not saying anything more to his girlfriend.
Roger stopped the car in front of Ryan's house.
"Thanks for the ride Rog," Ryan said. "Good afternoon everyone.
The boy got out of his friend's car and started walking toward the entrance of his house, when Roger got out of the car and ran to him.
"Wait Ryan," Roger asked, looking at his childhood friend.
"Tell me, brother," Ryan said, looking at his friend.
Roger hugged Ryan affectionately and then looked at his childhood friend seriously.
"Ryan, my brother, I know you have great qualities and let these qualities always appear to Jade, please be careful not to hurt her with words, gestures, attitudes. Jade is my friend too and I would not want to see her sad. Please be careful not to hurt her, because, Jade is a very sweet, very sensitive girl. She only deserves affection, respect and love. Careful my brother, otherwise, you can lose it anytime, and it may be too late, "Roger said sincerely.
"I love Jade very much, I'm completely in love with her, but I know my faults and I'm ashamed of them, Rog," Ryan said sadly. "I swear I try to change, but I can not.
"Of course you can. Do it for your girlfriend, okay? Well, she loves you too, "Roger said, smiling.
"I promise I'll try again," Ryan smiled.
At that moment Ryan entered the house and Roger in the car and shortly after he stopped the vehicle in front of the house of the parents of Jade and the girl farewell of Josephine and Clare.
Roger followed her to her parents' house.
"It's delivered, my angel." The blonde smiled.
"Thanks for the ride." She smiled at him. "It was a very tiring day , but productive and fun next to you and the guys in the band. I think Queen's success is a matter of time.
"And you'll be in the middle of that success, because you'll be our photographer," Roger smiled, hugging her tightly and kissing her cheek.
"Am I fat, Rog?" I'm ugly? - Asked Jade looking at him and then to his body - What Ryan said made me very upset. I'm not forced to do whatever he wants. Until I control how much food I eat, he wants it. I'm not to eat too much, like until very little during the week, but, today I was very hungry and ...
- Jade, stop it. You're not ugly, you're not fat or too thin. You're still beautiful, you are more beautiful every time you go. You have a beautiful face my friend, a beautiful body and above all is a girl so sweet, so sensitive to everyone. Your sweet way enchants everyone. She's smart, sweetheart, you're amazing, Jade. - Roger smiled at her - And as for food, eat as much as you want. If one day you are hungry, eat a little more, the other day eat less, just keep feeding and get weak, please.
"You always with the sweetest words, my angel," Jade said with tears in her eyes, hugging Roger and kissing him on the cheek. "Thank you for everything you've done for me, thank you for your advice.
"I just want to see you happy, Jade," Roger smiled. "If you're happy, I'll be happy, my angel.
"I'll say the same about you." She smiled at him.
Then Jade entered her parents' house and Roger returned to the car. And what the blonde had said to her was true. While Jade was happy, right next to Ryan, he would be happy. What Roger least wanted to see in this life is unhappy Jade. Even he could be unhappy, less his princess, his love that he hides in his heart.
To be continued.
